I swear these tiktoks are getting REALLY medically concerning...

[mochiikook]

Dr. Mike aggressively jumping in anger roasting medically inaccurate stuff on TikTok has me dying 😂

[freshIight]

This video is how I found out about PCS and I am SO RELIEVED!
I spoke with my doctor and after asking me a few questions about my chest pain he is confident in saying that PCS is most likely the cause. If I feel other areas like neck or my arm being affected as well I need a check-up, though.
Again, I am SO relieved!
Thanks for mentioning this in your vid, I was worried but forgot to talk about it when visiting my doctor.

as a figure skater, those spinning things are so much fun but very difficult to stay centered on. as someone with low iron anemia, it’s even more dizzying but worth it. definitely try if you have the opportunity, you don’t have to go that fast, the tighter you pull in the faster you go.

That sauna guy had me laughing so hard. "Your risk of dying of all things goes down".
Imagine being hit by a car but then you remember that you went to the sauna so you just stand up and keep walking.

Mike seems like such a friendly, positive guy. Seeing him have a mental breakdown on camera over these tik toks makes me feel better about my bitter self

[ameliapuzzle]

8:05 🤯 OMG, you just diagnosed me without even trying to. I've had those sudden sharp pains pop up under my left ribs since I can remember, causing me to be unable to take a deep breath for a few minutes. I'd brought it up to my former doctor a few times, and she LITERALLY told me to just LOVE MYSELF. I was like... wtf? (Got nothing against docs, but I've had problems with her before. Switched to a new doc and everything’s going great now). But what you described (Precordial Catch Syndrome) matched exactly. Thank you!!

[Just_A_Dude]

That first segment reminded me of something I was told once, when I was feeling disheartened by the low success rate of CPR outside of the hospital. You don't give CPR to a living person, you give CPR to a corpse. 10% success rate starts to look pretty good when you're talking about straight-up mugging the Grim Reaper to steal back someone's soul.

[patriciabalzer]

Mikes rage is getting to be the best. Lol. How do people actually believe these TikTok’s. Thank you Dr. Mike for pointing out this stupidity.

[HeyV]

I LOVED your reaction to the cayenne pepper lady. I'm right there with you it makes my blood boil to no end to see people spread their stupidity like wildfire.

[Lynn-cfcc]

Glad that you mentioned the hypoglycemic possibility. I had a scare when i was 14 or 15 where my parents rushed me to the hospital because they thought I was having a stroke. The hospital, oddly enough, ever checked my blood sugar. It took four people, thirty minutes, and six poke for two IVs, and the never checked my blood sugar. When I was discharged, they said it was a migraine and dehydration. The real issue? My blood sugar was way too low. My dad's side of the family has a history of hypoglycemia and I have Tourette Syndrome (people with TS tend to also have issues with low blood sugar).

Eating an orange in the shower would be nice because you can get your hands sticky and instantly un-sticky them, therefore you can eat the orange as messily as you want.

[enderwalker]

Doctor Mike is underrated. He is educating people in an entertaining way, and it’s awesome

[Deenurr]

I could actually cry for poor Dr Mike…. I can’t IMAGINE the frustration when people are talking bollocks about your speciality and that speciality is SAVING LIVES!

[bwctubes]

That point about false extrapolation of statistics is SO important. That error isn't just made intentionally by hucksters, but unintentionally ALL the time by well-meaning media outlets.

[jojotheswede]

My old gym teacher made my whole class learn how to do chest compreshions, still haven't had to do any but when it happens i'll be ready!

[estrobart]

Props to Doctor Mike for fighting misinformation with such enthusiasm and accuracy!

[meganbennett]

As a registered nurse, I identify with Dr. Mike's meltdowns!! 🤣🤣🤣 I cannot even describe how many times I've seen some crazy "home remedies" on social media and ranted about how ridiculous & dangerous some of them are!!

[danieldovhun]

2:15 Dr. Mike’s went from mildly peeved to full on pissed off in less than 20 seconds

[alanamullen]

I have a relative that has heart problems when he eats meat or corn, and when he accidentally eats some, cayenne pepper does keep his heart from going crazy.
